Frequently Asked Question

Two-factor (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an additional security layer used to protect your accounts. We require all staff to set up 2FA as a security safeguard.  New staff will be given 30 days to enroll 2FA. After that time the account will be locked and require action from the Technology Department to re-enable the account.  2FA is a 2 part login meaning you need a password and something physical to login. 

There are a few different ways to set up 2FA:

• Text Message on your phone (most popular)
• Voice call on your phone
• Clicking "yes" on you Android/IOS phone using the Google Search app (must be logged in with school email on the phone)
• Using the Google Authenticator App
• Using a Security Hardware Key (can be checked out from the Technology Department.  Click here to ask us.)

More info on 2FA can be found here.
